I used to be 2-3....now I'm turning 3-2!

When I moved to Hawaii to teach music, I was 23. Now all of a sudden I'm turning 32. How did time go by so fast? 9 years teaching in Hawaii already? My students are serenading me with Happy Birthday today. I am feeling very well loved!

Medieval Melody

Yesterday I worked with my Quintet students at our once a month Quintet rehearsal. This time, the girls got to play a piece written and arranged by one of the Quintet members! (The tall violinist standing to my left!) She arranged her composition "Medieval Melody" for five parts. I was covered in goosebumps and I am so very proud!

And below, you can watch them playing Tchaikovsky's New Doll. I had to sub in for one of the players while she is out of town. And I quickly realized that every single one of my students in the Quintet are now taller than the teacher!
